"Media Center Studio" is a free and very useful utility for Windows Vista and 7. It allows you to easily customize look of Windows Media Center.

If you want to manually change the Media Center look, you'll need to edit a system file "ehres.dll" which is stored in "%windir%\ehome" directory. But no need to do so much complicated task, you can easily edit existing Media Center theme or create new themes using Media Center Studio.

Features List:

  • Edit your start menu - rearrange or disable native menu items
  • Create your own menu strips, and your own items to go in them
  • Monitors your application and returns to Media Center when it exits
  • Set up a button on your remote to exit your application
  • Create menu items that take you to native Media Center pages, or start media
  • Apply themes to Media Center
  • Create new themes or edit existing ones

    Excuse Me For This Horrible Necropost, but whether it is possible Unistall The Media Center and Shellstyle (where does the size of folders with a picture) It seems to me that Windows 7 would run much faster without that nuisance.

    ^^ You can uninstall Media center using Programs & Features applet in Control Panel.
